Achillea Moonshine
Achillea Moonshine, also known as Yarrow Moonshine, is a striking, drought-tolerant perennial prized for its vibrant, sulfur-yellow flowers that bloom from late spring to early fall. With its silvery-gray foliage and compact growth habit, reaching up to 18 to 24 inches tall, this easy-care plant adds long-lasting color and texture to sunny borders, rock gardens, and wildflower meadows. The flat-topped flower clusters attract pollinators like bees and butterflies and make excellent cut or dried flowers, adding beauty both in the garden and indoors.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Achillea Moonshine is ideal for low-maintenance, water-wise gardens. This hardy perennial performs well in USDA zones 3-8 and is perfect for hot, dry climates. Its drought-tolerant nature makes it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, while its ability to tolerate poor soil conditions adds to its versatility. Achillea Moonshine provides season-long interest with minimal effort, whether used as a standalone accent plant, in mass plantings, or paired with other heat-tolerant perennials like lavender or ornamental grasses.
In addition to its stunning flowers, Achillea Moonshine is deer and rabbit-resistant, making it a reliable option for gardens in areas with wildlife. This tough, durable plant requires little care beyond occasional deadheading to promote continuous blooming. Its clump-forming habit ensures it stays tidy in the garden, while its long bloom period and ability to withstand harsh conditions make it a favorite among gardeners seeking both beauty and resilience. Whether you’re creating a colorful border or adding interest to a cottage garden, Achillea Moonshine is sure to shine.
